But, if you don't like to use apt-get, you can simply find deb packages on debian.org's website ( http://packages.debian.org/stable/net/nmap.html). On 11/8/06, Andreas Ericsson <ae () op5 se> wrote:

Then we could be assured of bleeding edge fingerprints :-)Should be trivial to write as a separate script/program. FTP and HTTP aren't exactly rocket-science protocols. I'm not so sure about the version checking though. Sometimes there are reasons for not running bleeding edge.Also if nmap was distributed as a .deb package. Not that RPM's aren't great and all.Debian distributes nmap .deb-packages, I think. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson () op5 se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://SecLists.Org <http://seclists.org/>
